- Hazards come from repetition, sustained posture, high or sudden force, and vibration
- Check the task, load, environment and yourself before you start
- Equipment and task redesign beat technique alone
- Keep loads close and in the power zone; move your feet instead of twisting
- Push rather than pull, and never force faulty equipment
- Report early discomfort, near misses and damaged equipment
